Since we're on tires... Am I crazy for wanting to run 265/40/18's for my next set of tires?


And my rapevan made it to the beach! I have faith in it now lol. I had doubts that it would have an issue on the way there, but it was fucking flawless. I love this thing to death lol




My amazing top notch super legit A1 retrofits for the ride back to Houston XD Watched league and CSGO streams the whole way back 3M double sided tape does wonders

boki_cu2

Anyone got cu2 oem intake hose they want to sell
One off throttle body to airbox

iCrap

lmao amazing

xtcnrice

MC you rolled your fenders? 265/40 gonna be tough af even if you aren't too low.

opboarding

When I would wash my car in my apartment complex I got asked that exact question like 5 times by old people driving by. I never knew how to respond.

ssjoeboe9

Straight trade for an intake?

ssjoeboe9

I always said $15 for hand wash, $20 with inside, and $25 to include headlight detail and tire shine.... They were always thrown off by my calculated response haha

VR1

If you could pull of 265/40 it'd look pretty awesome. Dat meaty tire look.

rawger

Yeah I was caught off guard too. Literally I was like uhh I've never washed anyone else's care before. Then she was like $20 and its a Civic, which is relatively small so I was like sure.

That's pretty fair for pricing. But I guess I'm getting away with a wash only for $20 which is easy money lol.

xtcnrice

$20 ain't worth it for me. But then again I take a couple hours to hand wash my own car lol

VR1

I've washed 4 cars @ $50. About 2-3 hours for each.

iCrap

couple of hours?! I get bored with it after like 30 minutes lol

boki_cu2

No trade . sell hehe

xtcnrice

Yeah I'm slow with it. Also cuz I polished the car last summer so I don't wanna put swirls back in. I barely soap the car before I scrub the mitt off lol

VR1

^What wax do you use? I got some Meguiars Liquid to use with the DA (on Black LCC Hydro), but haven't played with it yet.

iTrader: (1)

I feel I need to come in here and post its been a forever. I need brakes to be done sick of the squealy factory brakes whats everyone opinion for what to get?

rawger

Oh yeah, same here. But I'd expect it to take like half an hour max. I'm not going to me as meticulous as I am with my car. They were working in their yard and saw me take like 1 and a half hours washing my car (had a bunch of shit on it from birds and trees) and I assume that's why they came over and asked.

cu2wagon

For $20, I'd be willing to drive someone's car through the nearest car wash. But that's about it.

MC MiYoung3269

My fronts were rolled with my stockies when I was maxed out XD I do plan on properly rolling them though. As far as fitment goes, I'm gonna raise the car up even more if/when I do get them. Not concerned with the flush look or anything. I'm going for battle stance I've had my fun being low

xtcnrice

Collinite 845. Here's the guide I follow. You need very little wax too, which is awesome! First time around I unnecessarily used so much of it because I thought it wasn't enough.

Collinite #845: The Definitive How-To Guide For This Legendary Wax - Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum

In a gist:

-Heat up the bottle of Collinite 845 in a bucket of warm/hot water, so that it eventually is no longer pasty is and closer to a liquid.
-Put a few dots on a crimson Hydrotech pad.
-Speed 2-3 on my Griot's Garage DA should cover maybe half a hood or so.

damaged442

Definitely X2! 845 for the summer, 476 for the winter. Collinite is the best bang for the buck out there.

ssjoeboe9

Who replaced their 2nd cat with a resonator? Did you cut the OEM cat and weld to the flanges? I can't find a shop who will touch my exhaust without CAT's. I've got a friend who is willing to weld it up this weekend, but I wanna know how to tackle the project.

Any help would be appreciated. Those bastards on the CU2 Facebook page like audio systems, and ugly ass wheels. No one responds to legitimate performance type questions.

rawger

I feel like every time someone mentions Collinite 845, you post in here. lol

rawger

Lol, I mean there is a $5 wash around the corner...

iCrap

bruh
stickers and subwoofers and LEDS > Performance. Everyone knows that!

I would cut it and weld it to the flanges.

jGuts89

If they saw you then they expect you to do the same for theirs. If someone asked me after seeing me I would probably say no. I take forever with my car as well so yea I would definitely not charge $20 lol. I can't just barely wash a car either no matter whose it is. I have this thing with washing cars. It's gotta be done right lol.

Jaheri_cbp

You could essentially cut the flanges off and build up around a bottle style resonator that is short enough to fit within the factory cat's length. That does junk your factory cat now though unless you tried re welding the flanges back to the stock cat guts. Your prob better off just getting a test pipe to save your factory 2nd cat and just welding up a new resonator to the beginning portion of your cat back like others have done to kill the rv6 rasp... My aftermarket exhaust absolutely murked the skunk2 rasp it's super quiet in my car now. I know you like the sleeper look but honestly at this point though joe, your prob loosing quite a bit of horsepower with the factory cat back still in place. The factory exhaust has plenty of flow when it's only pushing about 200hp.. But you are to the point where the stock exhaust won't measure enough flow or CFMs to support the amount of air that is trying to be pushed out of your engine now... In other words... GET AN EXHAUST FOOL!!

Jaheri_cbp

I think UTAH gained like 30hp on the dyno before going custom exhaust just by unbolting the factory cat back and running downpipe only just to see what The results would be

iCrap

the only thing left would be the mufflers really, right? Are they that restrictive?

xtcnrice

^^ the piping. He's stage 2 SC boosted, so maybe going up to 3" throughout wouldn't be a bad idea.

And Jaheri is right. You might as well get a test pipe or HFC at a minimum. That hack job approach with the 2nd cat isn't the way to go IMO.

iCrap

I wonder if it'd make that much of a difference really though... for turbo'ed cars sure. But idk how much of a difference he'd see just taking out that cat vs all new exhaust.

xtcnrice

3" all the way back might be overkill.. I don't know for sure, haven't seen many dynos for K24Z3. Turbo would more than likely benefit. SC pushing 300whp, not sure. But 2.5" all the way back would still be beneficial. The dp/testpipe would be 2.5". Everything from that point going back should ideally be 2.5" as well.

Stock exhaust tapers down to 2.25" or something I think? I kinda pulled that number out of my ass tbh, but I recall seeing that number somewhere lmao. If that's the case, he would benefit with a new exhaust. Mufflers not nearly as big of a deal as the rest of the piping IMO.

Jaheri_cbp

If you saw the inner diameter size in the piping "after the split" on our factory exhaust you would be disgusted.. If you're curious enough just unbolt and remove your left muffler and take a gander for yourself... Not to mention that our factory mufflers are of baffle design and not straight through.

Jaheri_cbp

Turbo or not joe is forcing a significant amount more DENSE ASS air into his motor thus needing more than what is provided from the factory setup to let the air out.. Being a stage2 setup and achieving more than 50% power increase from factory (100+ or so hp), I'd recommend both a test pipe and full exhaust IMO minding emissions of course.

Jaheri_cbp

I think my 60mm straight through exhaust would suffice for a mildly boosted setup no? Hehe

Jaheri_cbp

Besides... What's really left besides the exhaust that is "sleeper" on joes car at this point lmao... Dat whine doe
